Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl (Original Version)

[donnykashmir]

y'all don't realize the original lyrics were "brown skinned girl"

[evilmage007STEAMnic]

the original was brown skined girl

[CrazeKillen]

LIKE THIS... ITS MAKING LOVE IN THE GREEN GRASS BEHIND THE STADIUM WITH YOU. not skipping a jumping .... ffs.

[drilledtooth]

My eyes are grey w flecked of green and blue I'm very dope

[Larvemannenz001]

I got blue eyes, wish I had brown. :(

[TheCurlyMess]

@Larvemannenz001 I've never heard anyone say that!

[Larvemannenz001]

@TheCurlyMess Blue eyes considered the best?

[TheCurlyMess]

@Larvemannenz001 I know a lot of people prefer it to brown eyes! I think all eye colors are beautiful though.

[KoRnSlipFold]

wtf. this IS NOT an original version by saying it is, is a simple lie! Van Morrison writes his lyrics for a reason and covering them up like in 2:22 is just stupid and a very PMRC kinda thing to do.

[asaku520]

My boyfriend calls me "My brown eyed girl." :)

[therobbiesmith]

Wonderful - thanks for posting this.

[SarahMeyers1000]

i love this song:)

[Wedigar]

I like brown eyes on girls. I'm a guy, but my eyes are blue/green, like a turqoise lol

[ajferriss1]

I'm glad I'm a brown-eyed girl. hehehe

[GardenSkeleton]

van morrison sounds like mick jaggur in this song

[LiquidGardener]

Ah, the censored version that doesn't say "makin' love in the green grass behind the stadium......." Ho hum........

[Ralzaly]

I LOVE KATHARINE MURPHY!

[Nstylez98]

i think all color eyes are pretty!!

[remotecontrolp51]

27 people are red-eyed manwhores.

[iloveyou1rst]

My mom dedicated this to me. Now my eyes are hazel but she still sings this to me.

[pinkevilfarmer]

Glad to say I grew up with my mum playing this in the car all the time,

[barbaramay149]

I've got brown eyes!!!!!!!

[vargmz]

Who said blue/green is better?? Personally I love brown eyes. They're very beautiful.

[dandantheminiman]

define any one to say this song doesn't make them smile even a little bit when they hear this song.

[Gog0sxD]

Penny has brown eyes :))♥

[brapboys503]

I love this song and music like this dictated who I am today. I'm old-school in a 25-year-old body. It's fucked up, because all the girls of my age are retarded as FUCK! Yeah, stay with those men who use you for pussy, you stupid tricks!

[BhreighaAnn]

Why are people posting comments about blue or green eyes and asking for thumbs up about them??? Didn't you see the title?? It's called BROWN EYED GIRL for a reason, DUH!

Jeez, if you want a song about blue or green eyes, find one or make one -_________-

Anyway, this song is ah.maze.ing <333

[MuppetManHenry]

Love this song and thumbs up for Blue - Eyed People

[MrToker76]

love this tune.....thanks 4 posting ....STAY STONED MY FRIEND!!!!!

[andrewmcross]

i herd this song was originally brown skined girl but bc of the time they mad him change it, anybody know of any truth to that??? still a good song either way 

[andrewmcross]

*made 

[RaidersFan2469]

@andrewmcross Originally titled "Brown-Skinned Girl", Morrison changed it to "Brown Eyed Girl" when he recorded it. Morrison remarked on the original title: "That was just a mistake. It was a kind of Jamaican song. Calypso. It just slipped my mind. I changed the title."

[chargerfan64]

@RaidersFan2469 raiders suk GO CHARGERS

[foliefly]

No way, man! You were makin' love in the green grass behind the stadium!

[Muffett53]

UH...who thought that eye color affected a choice in liking or disliking a song? GEE...where are YOU from? This is a great song. Love that time. It was the BEST of times.

[TheFMUtv]

Incredible.

[plb223]

This song is awesome. !!!

[Ellactricity]

My boyfriend sings this to me :')

[dem80nascar]

I heard this song back when I was picking beans during the summer to make some money to buy school clothes. 1967 I hated to pick beans, cause it was always Hot. Any one else have to do that back in the days?

[Katiedances06]

Hell I've got blue eyes and I still like this song :)

[TheSatanshunter]

how about brown ringed girl (i'm sorry, i'm a pervert)

[FatmanH]

@TheSatanshunter genuine laughter hahaha

[MyFunkyDesign]

Those 24 people who dislike this song must of got an arrow to the knee!

[Scepple]

This isn't the original version of the song. It's the radio edit with different lyrics in the third verse.

[formen74]

Esta rolla si esta perrona compa

[mrsemlover94]

wish it was called blue eyed girl so it could relate to me:( brown eyed girls are great too

[MyMontolio]

[HuntemProductions]

This song is AMAZING, wish I grew up in this era... but glad I didn't because I wouldn't have the internet to play this song whenever I want!!

[benjiskhan]

Best use of the replay button, ever.

[colt2ish]

do any other boys have urge to wanna do any hot girl u see

[Posdrums3]

@colt2ish You only feel this during the song?

I've got some bad news for you..

[mytilludie]

how about a brown eyed boy? :)

[bettershutterbug]

Search on youtube for this "Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl (1967 COLOR clip)" It has him singing the whole song including the making love in the green gas part! It's a good video.

[RustyMalibu]

Thank you so much for posting this your a solid to the universe and it appreciates it lol GOOD TIMES : )

[MarcelloAngelo100]

20 people are blue eyed girls!

[mclovin8501]

This song reminds me of my gf who has Brown eyes

[oldhippiegrl]

just a teen too. back in the late 60 early 70. southeast texas...cajun land...the local swimming pool where anybody who was cool hung out. song takes me back to those sweet summer days

[barto11000]

Cast my memory back there Lawd, sometimes overcome thinking 'bout it. So true.

[barto11000]

I am blessed, lived all my teen years in the 60's, this was a huge hit then. She had Honey Zimmerman eyes, brown of course, and we were in love. We went behind the stadium many a time...

[colt2ish]

good song but nothing will ever beat the wind of the change by the scorpions

[darrius13sniper]

@colt2ish What the fuck are you smoking? This songs beats most other songs. you can't even compare the scorpions to van morrison. That's like comparing Johnny Cash to Fallout Boy. Comment somewhere else metalhead.

[colt2ish]

@darrius13sniper Well its true the scorpions, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Boston are the 3 best rock bands in the whole world!!!!!

[colt2ish]

@colt2ish and don't forget creedence clearwater revival's fortunate son

[darrius13sniper]

@colt2ish Rolling stones, Jimi Hendrix, bob marley, led zepplin, john lennon, johnny cash, harry chapin, beetles, beach boys, aerosmith are all better than those three

[colt2ish]

@darrius13 dude ur way off base comaring those bands to scorpions, lynyrd skynyrd, and boston

[darrius13sniper]

@colt2ish If it weren't for most of those great bands there wouldn't be a scorpions, lynard skynard or boston. Lynard skynard has Rolling Stones influences, Boston might as well be Beetles clones and Scorpion could try as hard as they want, they would never top stairway to heaven by Led Zepplin

[paulbuchanan03]

Jimmy buffett recorded his first album in 1970 this song was released in 1967

[ConCircus]

What's the deal!? No one can make love in the green grass?!

[SGTJOCOOL1]

Sad because me and my girl friend split up today :L she had beautiful brown eyes :)

[scarlettmagenis]

Me and my best friend both have brown eyes so this is our song <3

[2525Coyote]

Got to love 80s I'm 13 and I like this and a bunsh of this stuff

[Diablo4643]

@2525Coyote this song is from 1967 not the 80s

[antdigger]

This guy ripped off Jimmy Buffet.

[kakashi66132]

My girlfriend's eyes look brown/hazel, until she wears something green... then her eyes pop into this amazing beautiful bright green. So incredible... along with this song.

[barrelracer121495]

This is my parents song i was trying to learn it on the guitar for their aniversy but that failed miserably. Also 17 people hate brown eyed girls

[Emma13ruah16]

Is it just me or does anybody eles think a phone is ringing at 0:59 ?

[mmCait]

I wish i had brown eyes haha fricken hazel eyes

[skylerdaunt]

im a brown eyed girl to my grandpa use to sing this to me

[investing12345]

this song was originally The Brown Skinned Girl and Van had to change it due to what it represented as an interacial relationship. The times then were not what they are now.

[AnimeAmimatorMizore]

I get to play this song in my High school band class~

[TheCrazyAnni]

[woods8870]

[TOREROJUNIOR]

@woods8870 ___ for me too, that sounds like jagger, expecially in “get off of my cloud”.. but anyway , it’s fantastic

[Ma4035]

@criticbro i dont think it's nice to put yourself down like that mate, you obvisiouly are not a dumb ass, however i do know how to say that word that you asked of me, but im not going to say it because i dont know you enough to put you down like that....im sorry.

[msprissybitch12]

[96JUSTIN]

whoever doesnt like this song has to be those aliens from other planets we hear about...and even then I find it hard that they wouldnt like this

[adelinejonjohnjohnny]

Kennyfitz

[TheCriticbro]

@Ma4035 Can you say dumbass? :)

[Perroramirez]

Needs more love making behind the stadium.

[MrStevenlange]

COOL



[number1musiccritic]

CASTLECOMER do an amaaaaaaazing cover of this song. Type in "Castlecomer - Brown Eyed Girl"

[twilighter9871]

my daddy dedicatezz diz song 2 me i luv it!! <3

[Skarjunk]

was originally written and named 'brown skinned girl'..he was censored and ask to change...those times were like that

[BlackJack995]

@Skarjunk Really?

[UrlsGrrl54]

Happy Birthday, Van!!

[halftempotravel]

Great Song but, unfortunately this is not the original version. This is a censored version, almost identical to the original, that eliminates the verse "Makin' love in the green grass, behind the stadium, with you" and replaces "Makin' love in the green grass" with a repeat of the line, from an earlier verse, "laughin' and and a runnin".

Still a great tune

[chlen69]

@halftempotravel

Maybe thats why the video is still on )

[a0199755]

@halftempotravel Are you sure Van is not singing about doing a girl in her browneye? He is Catholic you know. Van's middle name is Bam.

[stvnrowe726]

@halftempotravel heres the original

[springsummerbear]

My first love used to sing this to me too! It's been 20+ years since!

[stupidshitsucks]

Each year during my younger years I would wait to hear what my favorite song would be and this particular year when this was released this song was my favorite. I'm 72 now....as far as I'm concerned, nothing now can compare to these oldies.. Thanks for posting..lots of fine memories here.

[Transformers2themax]

I've always got an impression that this song was about anal sex. Am I right? "Brown eyed girl". Lol.

[fluba269]

@Transformers2themax Thats fucking disgusting, go troll somewhere else pervert

[Transformers2themax]

@fluba269 Troll? I was being serious. I love this song. Most of what I listen to is '60s music. Heck, I've got a whole collection including Surrealistic Pillow. I'm not a pervert; I just got an odd impression from this song. There's no need for vulgar and insults.

[jameycruz2]

@Transformers2themax Ha ha- Was Brown Eye in the vernicular at the time ? Going down the Old Man with a transistor radio- sounds like oral - think it was originally Brown Skinned Girl then it was changed to Brown-Eyed Girl. LOL

[ANOTHERHOLEINYOHEAD]

I hate this song, they always played this near the end of the nights out when I used to go out clubbing. They were crap memories because I never used to pull and this just brings all those crap memories back. Who knows, if my clubbing days were happy ones I might even like this song.

[lcrsse770]

making love in the green grass?

[hockeygirl1031]

9 ppl dont have a brown eyed girl =P

[welcome1joe]

Love this song, I just stumbled upon a cover of this by Castlecomer. The next Mumford and Sons

[MikeDial]

Does anyone know who played guitar on this song? It's deceptively simple-sounding, which is why whenever I hear a band play this song, they never play the guitar fills.

[j2thashaw]

@MikeDial I think it's Jimmy Paige. That's why is sounds so simple yet so great.

[GDR1988]

Nine people have hearing loss!

[sms1189]

i would like to send a big fat FUCK YOU to the people that disliked this amazing tune!

[newskool7]

this is song that reminds i of iran

[1298hollywood]

i think that this is one of the prettiest songs ever.

[rebeccaruth77]

When I was a little girl, my daddy used to sing this to me. It was when everything was good. Now that things aren't so great, and my daddy isn't in my life anymore, this song really does make me smile..

[CrusaderBeach]

Love the melody :)

[CWFRage]

This is the censored version not the original. In the original he says "Making love in the Green Grass (behind the stadium with you)" not the re dubbed "Laughing and Running". I hate that you have to wait until damn near the end of the song just to be disappointed

[LegionaireXII]

One of the greatest voices of any genre...ever

[Ginger32000]

Thanks for posting this video. Always loved this song!

[keith777100]

There will NEVER be another era as that....Awesome !!

[NaomiWadsworth]

[theindiarose1]

[roscoegino]

Just how a pop song should sound like.

[MyRealWorld11]

Brings back a lot of memories, listen to this a lot when I was 19 living in the Grand Canyon!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperIndro]

[PeaceLoveRockabilly]

I love Van Morrison SO much!

I really appreciate you posting this video! ((:

[ZeppelinGirl1968]

i love it this song its amazing this is how music is suppose to sound

[crazybaby2211]

My dad told me, when I was 5 years old, that this song reminded him of me. I'm 13 going on 14 in three months and I still haven't forgotten it. It's just one of those songs that comforts me.

Love,

A brown-eyed girl-3

[allyson201]

i love it. been singing it for so many years, never grows old.

[AnSturbin]

One of those songs ive heard my whole life but didnt know the artist who sang it. Until now.

[tub3ng]

can still remember the day almost 25 years ago....when I met my brown eyed girl...she took my heart and became the air that I breath....could not image my life without her...my brown eyed girl....love you baby...

[bekkablah]

Makes me proud to be a brown-eyed girl =]

[jewlzz1228]

i'm only 17 and my dad showed me this song, i LOVE this song! :)

[MrFunnyman68]

awsome song

[HLF42]

Hugh Laurie's favourite song :D

[thedingdongditch]

having brown eyes sucks. when someone tries to compliment you about them they cant think of anything pretty to compare them to. all they think of is shit or dirt or mud or whatever else. i mean seriously. i hate it.

[homedogword1]

@thedingdongditch hey my dad has brown eyes.x(

[thedingdongditch]

@homedogword1 sorry. so do i. i hate it personally. no one can think of anything good to compare them to when theyre saying your eyes are preety or whatever. then it gets awkward. lol

[homedogword1]

@thedingdongditch i have something to compliment them.

[thedingdongditch]

@homedogword1 what?

[homedogword1]

@thedingdongditch ill tell on gmail.

[thedingdongditch]

[thedingdongditch]

@homedogword1 i am. my computer is just screwed up and its not gonna work. and im a strunzi and idk how to fix it.

[homedogword1]

[homedogword1]

@thedingdongditch not really.

[thedingdongditch]

@homedogword1 whatever. lol
